Inspite of multiple visits to Goa in my lifetime, I would have never come across this side of the city if not for this documentary. 19:05 - one of the many best moments throughout the film. Thanks DD

I have not visited Goa i am 68 yo woman your video has changed my mistake that Goa is for Youth only,that it was never in my itinerary...will go shortly

This documentary encapsulates the ethos of real Goa. Kudos!!

Save Goa. The Mountains are sacred and the rivers pour blessings. Sell the land to Delhiwalas and one fine day Goa will be cursed. Goans will be cursed. Its happening thanks to our beloved Greedy CM Bhiupa Garaz Na. Who will STOP it. Uth Goenkara Uth.

Great Video. At first I thought that Local Beat was just creating another tourist rich haven and all those beautiful wild places would be overrun, but how refreshing to see that it is the opposite. I have never seen Goa in person, but grew up in my old country with so many Goan friends. Maybe one day I will visit , stay away from the crowds and see those waterfalls, quiet forests.... Thank you for this film. Hope to see more from you.

Beautiful film! Wish this kind of tourism reaches more and more"visitors" to Goa, wherever they may come from. Also, it would be great if every region of India has a "local beat" chapter, to help newcomers and visitors get to know the deep roots , the historical aspects and distinctive ways of each area🤩

Visiting places like Goa, should be treated like visiting a God's temple. Remove your footware that you use outside, and enter. Shed off your outer influences, position, pride, ego... and surrender to the almighty. Don't demand or ask, but accept what is offered. Be prepared to wait. I am a Goikar by my ancestral, but born and brought up in Mumbai. But now, as I am getting older, the Goa in my blood has started pulling me back to my soil.

Beautiful Goa: keepers of Goa; beautiful Goans ❤

one earnest request is that you are mindful when taking your guests to these beautiful places. Please take care of the flora, fauna and nature.

Goa is special It is blessed with beautiful nature, the hills and the sea. what makes Goa really unique and truly special are the people of Goa, their life, their culture, their arts, crafts, food, dance and music. Whenever I visit Goa, I explore the unknown spots, the markets, the villages, the neighbourhoods .... that is the true essence of Goa

yes Susegad really means having a holistic way of life, a good balance, working and enjoying life and all its gifts.

The hinterland needs to be protected and not exploited.Tourists, no matter where they come from, are fickle, callous, dirty and ultimately, inspite of the money they bring, enemies of Sussegad. They will eventually destroy it. The early signs are already there. The Ghats, around the waterfalls are already are gaining new mountains of plastic bottles and empty packets of the rubbish they eat. If you truly love Goa, stop tourism into the hinterland. Let the tourists do whatever it is they do at a few select beaches and the casinos.

what about the inquisition and hindu genocide in goa...should cover all that too in a documentary!!

I would like to have heard something about the indigenous animals that live there.

Visually phenomenal!! Hope that says it all.😊

Thank you for this amazing insight 🙏❤️🙏❤️💝

Thank you. Great documentary. Thanks for protecting the hinterlands

Amazing...Y does this make come to Goa again within a month

This is wholesome !

loved every sec of the video,,

Great work guys. 😍

Beautifully made! Loved experiencing this documentary, Kudos to everyone involved :)

i honestly loved this🤩🌴🌊, feeling home sick now😬

Beautiful video. You have managed to show very pure, unpolluted areas. But in reality there is too much pollution. perhaps you can involve your guests in cleaning up the beaches and other public areas, and educate the young locals as well.

Superb Podcast This is fantastic and very honest information

PLEASE SAVE NATURE WHILE DOING THE ADVENTURES

Good job guys. You have covered the essence of Goa. As time passes natural progression is inevitable but i wish it wont affect Goa's soul and spirit.

This is just beautiful storytelling mahn. It inspires me to approach my own upcoming project with a unique lens, a distinct perspective, to be shot around Goa. Thank you for creating this beauty and displaying authentic goa in its true glory. 🥂

I live half the year in south goa. I love it there and have done since I first visited in 1992. Worst part was when the Russians started coming over about 20 years ago…. Rarely met one I like. Fortunately a lot are now going elsewhere.

malabar coast :)

As a goan I think the main issue is the mindset of tourists coming to Goa. Instead of having real fun they think it's a place to do whatever thing's they couldn't in their native place. I am working in Bengaluru, when I tell my colleagues or people here that I am from Goa, the first thing that comes to their mind is Alcohol, Drugs, girls and beaches. It's so painful when they have that image of my Goa in their mind. I try to convince them, show their our culture but they are so ignorant. Goa has always been an welcoming place for all religions, cultures and people from all places. We have never forced our language and culture on others unlike many parts of India. I have seen so many people complaining about rude behaviour from Goans. But for a moment they should also think from our POV. We welcomed a guest in our house, treated them well but now the same guest is trying to litter the house, disrespect it's culture and traditions so why wouldn't we get angry with him. Long story in short The tourists needs to change the mindset that Goa is a place where they can do any mischief they want and we fellow Goans should not let our culture and traditions and Goenkarpon die. Viva Goa❤

This line " Without feni, fest, football and fish we are not Goans" hits hard❤🥹

Very good

Yes Goa is a beautiful place. I lived there, and i moved away. Even nature is so beautiful, and i thought, how can i live without the ocean. It became over touristic. Prices, rent not affordable for me anymore. Infrastructure a nightmare. Unless you are younger and driving a bike. Locals often unfriendly and disrespectful. As many hate the tourists, but have to live from there money. I moved away. Sadly. I came to Goa first time 1987 for a visit. Only nature and realy nice people then. Your video is lovely. And i wish you all the best for your life.

I had visited Goa in 2003 and I can relate to what they mentioned about crowds. Back then even I was a Gaon ki chori, so the glitz and glam didn't seem so annoying. But now as someone who has lived in the metros, I always steered away from Goa as I always remembered the crowds. I am planning a trip soon and hope to adapt to and adopt the Susegaad culture. Any tips on how to do that are welcome. I am not very fit so not very sure if I will be able to do the treks, but I am open to suggestions

Absolutely loved the film brother. I am a independent filmmaker from Bengaluru and wish to get in touch with you. Kindly let me know how to reach out to you.

Hey, Mack & Raul cheers to y'all for doing what y'all do for our Goa. So proud to have witnessed the localbeat way of touristing, surely is a Goenkar approved one!

❤❤🙏🌴🙏🌾🌻🦐🦀🐟🎵

Tourists has already ruined the beaches, roads etc etc by plastic garbage.. now it's village and interior of Goa to be ruined by full of plastic bottles, beercan, chips cover, chocolate rapper by the sooo called tourists 😭😭😭 atleast leave the inocent villagers and forest for greedy entertainment... 🙏

Unfortunately "dying susegad" I rather feel. I am visiting Goa since the early 2000s and more than 10 visits spanning different parts. Sadly, near recent I am observing a growing rude behavior from the Goans specifically from the tourism industry. The body language and tone of many people working/owning the stays and restaurants is seen quite unwelcoming. For the most part it feels like they do not want any more tourists. Not just the body language but at quite a few places I observed skirmishes between the businesses and tourists even leading to physical fights. So lately I am getting repelled towards the idea of flocking to Goa, even the southern or internal parts. I respect the space that the locals would need in any tourist place such as this, but they definitely need to find a better way of tackling the over tourism and not blemishing the susegad life.

Beautiful documentary 👏

If there's absolute one thing I'm fortunate about is the fact that I'm a Goan and I'm deeply touched by this documentary 🌴

Thank you for uploading!

A beautiful film as Goa itself, conveying very important messages🎶🌏🌍🌎 ❤️🙏🏾

Goans, this deserves more views! Nice video - keep it up! I miss my Goa very much. Cheers from Dubai.

wow🥰🥰🥰

Susegaad = Slow, peaceful, satisfied, wholesome life. Note: the keyword here is SLOW

A lovely film. Think its quiet balanced. It could have given a bit more attention to the dangers to Goa from mining, sea ports, open policy to shift demographics and unsustainable numbers of tourists. Viva Goa ! Viva my motherland.

Viva Goa ! It's culture and traditions, tourism can adversely affect the ethos of a place, so preserve Goa, nice effort, keep it up, local beat - best wishes.

Excellent Nature
